Inspired by the magic of underwater worlds, the jewelry designer Emma Silvestris designed a “fairytale” fruits bowl with Mediterraneo that has its attraction and appeal out of the contrast of soft, filigree forms and hard material.

The plants frames that move upwards to the water surface seem to move softly. Definitely: the bowl copies corals, the name Mediterraneo keeps what it promises.

With „Mediterraneo“ from Alessi, the designer Emma Silvestris achieved a successful design in the year 2005. In the bold shaping of the fruits bowl, the Italian designer highlights the weightless state that exists under the water.
